Once You Love - Steve Earle Intro: DGDA X 2 D G A long time ago there lived a man D A He had the world in the palm of his hand G A Sultans and kings beat a path to his door G A He had everything but he still wanted more D G One day in spring came a lady so fair D A He'd never looked on a beauty so rare G A But he didn't trust her so he locked her away G A And his gold lost its luster when love died that day CHORUS: G D C G Once you love, once you trust it G D C G Once you give your soul is bare G D C G One false move and you know you're busted G D G A Once you love you care D G I knew an old man who lived all alone D A In a sad Iittle house at the end of the road G A He sat on his front porch in an old rocking chair G A And everyone swore he'd gone crazy down there D G But no one comes near so how could they know D A He lost someone dear to him once long ago G A He remembers the laughter and still tastes the tears G A And he still calls her name out after all of these years CHORUS: G D C G Once you love, once you trust it G D C G Once you give your soul is bare G D C G One false move and you know you're busted G D G Once you love you care C G D You can keep it all inside C G D You can run but you can't hide C When you think it's safe outside D G D Look behind you, love will find you CHORUS: G D C G Once you love, once you trust it G D C G Once you give your soul is bare G D C G One false move and you know you're busted G D G Once you love you care C G G D Once you trust it C G G D Once you care (Repeat and fade)
